Are you good typer?

During my last typing test I had around 35 words per minute. I can type without looking at the keyboard however I am not much of a fast typist. I have learned typing before going to university and it was useful when I started using the computer. © ronaldinu 2008

I can type without looking at the keyboard ,but I always make a mistake . And the speed is slow .So I have to practise from now . I'm sure that I can master the skill and defeat you someday !

ya..i think i am quite decent at typing..ya i can type without seeing the keyboard...

I am not a very good typist but my father is a good typist before. He practically grew up with this typewriters when he worked before and did a lot of typing. I on the other hand, did start my career with computers around that is why typing has not honed be to become a good typist since there is a backspace in and delete key in the keyboard, it is just easy to delete and correct the word you typed in there. Before you would really make sure that what you typed is the correct key because its hard to erased things when it is already typed in the paper.

Very good, I learned "touch typing" in school. Typing without looking down. So how many words per minute can you type? There are different practice tests that can tell you how many words per minute that you type. www.learn2type.com is one of them. There are many others. If you search "free typing tests" you can find some and find out how fast you can type. Take care

I am a good typer. I can type without looking at the keyboard. I don't really know what my typing speed is though it may be only about 35 or 45 words per minute. I type fast enough for my purposes that's all I know.

I don't look at the keyboard when I'm typing either; not even passwords. The G and J keys have a little bump on it, so I rarely look at my keyboard except to rest my eyes sometimes. I can type very fast too; I play piano, and the keyboard is somewhat similar to the piano. :) I had practice in elementary school. There was a program called All the Right Type. You do typing exercises, i.e. the Home Row, A and D keys, E and R keys, etc. programs, and they measure your speed while typing. My average is 90 words per minute, my fastest is 200. (keep in mind I'm a piano player.) :)

i can also type fast, without looking at the keyboard. being a fast and accurate typist is part of my job. :)

Since I'm in front of the computer most of the time as my job require me to type more often, I already master typing without looking at the keyboard and at the end, end up with minimal typo erro which can easily be seen when I edit my work.

I type pretty fast and most of the time I don't look at the keys. Now when it comes to a password I do so I know that the password is correct. That is the only time that I look at the keys when I type. Most of the time I'm just looking at the screen. When I make a mistake the backspace key I can reach with no problem. So I don't look a the keys at all. Then there are times when I can look away from the screen and type the words and if I make a mistake I can back space. I guess its like your mind has a picture of the keys and your fingers just know where they have to so. Even when you make a mistake your fingers know it. Not all of the time but some of the time. I guess once you learn the home keys every thing after that is just a breeze. I have been typing for a long time and I didn't forget how. I can say that it's good exercise for the fingers too. It keep your speed in check and the more you type the better your speed and the less errors. Anyway have a good day.

That's great!! I'm somewhat like that, but at times, I just don't even look at the keyboard and the screen when I type.. Sometimes when I'm just bored and want to post or talk about somethings online, I just type by not looking at the screen or the keyboard at all and I rarely get a mistake. I am doing so right now. :) I did not go for any typing class at all neither do I practice. I think it comes from all the years of chatting online, playing games, playing typing games and typing emails and posts! :) Sometimes I do look at the keyboard or the screen, just to see what I wrote, because sometimes I think my hands have a mind of it's own. This is how it works, I read your post, and then right now, whatever I'm thinking of responding in this post is just typed while I'm looking at the ceiling and just typing on and on. The funny thing is, whenever I make a mistake, I know I have and I'll automatically backspace it and retype and it goes all correct. So this is a post where I typed that does not involved my eyes looking at the keyboard or even the screen. Only the ceiling of my work place. And I'm just going to post it, without checking for mistakes.

I have gotten to be a lot better typer over the past few years becasue I have been on the computer so much. I don't need to look at the keyboard when i type. I usually just look at the screen or sometimes I even watch TV while typing. It makes life easier that way.

i think i am. i had typing class when i was in 4th year high school and another one when i was in 1st year college. it helped me alot. i've memorized the position of the letters, numbers and symbols on the keyboard. i put my fingers on the right position and i don't look on the keyboard when i type. i think if anyone wants to type better and faster, they should practice. because i believe that practice makes perfect.

I think what helped me to type faster was my High School typewriting class. We were taught to use the old typewriters, now antiques, so that we could type fast without looking at the keyboard and with the fingers in their proper use and position. Although I think I am good, I don't use all my fingers. If I do, I become slower. Maybe the continued use of computer at the early age made me a good typer, if not the best.

as i type for a living, i have to be a good typist so i can type without looking at the keyboard and can type fairly fast as well. i dont mind typing but lately my fingers have been starting to hurt me and i guess it is due to arthritis.

hi.. usually i am.. unless i suffer from jelly fingers..that only happens when i am very tired. i know how to do proper keyboarding and this helps alot in my line of work wherein i am in front of the computers... happy mylotting and have a nice day too.

I am a REALLY fast and good typer. I NEVER look at the key board when i type. It was funny one day this kid was asking me a question and i was looking at him and talking to him and i was also talking to someone on IM and i was typing to that kid the whole time i was talking to the kid that was here with me and looking right at him not looking at the key board or the monitor one time. The kid was like are seriously typing or just messing around and i was like I'm really typing and he was just like wow. I taught my self also i didn't take any classes or anything like that. I can type over 100 words per minute.

I took a keyboarding class in 9th grade of highschool. They taught us all about the Home Keys on the keyboard. I kept practicing and practicing and practicing. The more practice I get, the more better I am at it. Right now my average typing speed is roughly 45 words per minute, with accuracy. My wife can type around 65 words per minute. Her mom, my mother in law can type an astounding 85+ words per minute. If I could do that everyday, I would be AWESOME, in my own self absorbed opinion. But if I continue to use mylot and other social sites that require more and more typing, plus my day job. I use my computer more and more everyday. In fact I typed this entire response, without looking at the keyboard, but only looking at the computer monitor!

I'm a bad typer only with one finger so please tell me how can you learn to be a good typer like you.

I do type fast but i have to look at the keyboard most of the time. I use max 6 finger of both hands to type so I am not familiar with the keys. But i think that is ok. For my job I am very good at typing at that is all that matters. True if I was a data entry person I might have to type faster... But I guess this is ok. And hey I have heard that even Bill Gates can type only with single finger :)
